Thugs Like Us

Jimmy is a caged animal, trapped on a dysfunctional housing estate and desperate to escape.  He seeks his freedom through drink, drugs and one-night stands, but the prison keeps closing in.   When his older brother goes AWOL from the Parachute Regiment and returns with robbery on his mind, Jimmy sees a way out; a way forward. But there’s a storm coming in Jimmy’s sea-side town, and he knows it. Trouble is, in Jimmy’s prophetic visions he can’t quite see who the storm leaves for dead. Thugs Like Us is based on a true story set in England in 1977/78 and starts on the day of the Queen's Royal Jubilee. "Very Powerful." TV Smith (The Adverts) "I wish I wrote it."
